From Old Japanese.[1] Attested in a mokkan dated around 756.[1]
Seemingly connected to 弱し (yowashi, “weak”, modern 弱い (yowai)), from the way that the fish quickly dies.[1] However, the pitch accents mismatch; the Heian period accent for iwashi is <HHH>
,[1] contradicting to the accent of yowashi, which has <LLF>
in the Heian period.[2]
